Here is a REALLY hard to find Volkswagen Golf GTI VR6. This car is fast, and it handles like it's on rails. Who's ready for Autocross? I originally purchased this car for some summer time autocross fun. My plans were derailed when my wife stepped in. Oh well, maybe next year! This car is sweet, it is a 5-speed VR6. It is very fast, fast as piss, and it handles like it's on rails. This car is stupid fun to drive. The car runs awesome! The car has many mods for performance, including vented discs all around, coil overs all around, performance hoses, new clutch with titanium flywheel, nice alloys, and much more. This car is very much mechanically sound. I am a VW nut, and I know this is a good one. The only downside to the car is its Ohio body. There is rust on one strut tower (see pic), one spot on the floor under the rear seat, and the hatch is shot. The body has normal wear and tear. The interior is sweet, nice radio, leather, etc. Sunroof isn't working. The linkage is sloppy (like ALL MK3's), reverse and 5th gear can be a challenge if you aren't used to it. The linkage is a piece of cake to replace though. Bottom line, this thing is fun, fast, and affordable. This car has a lot of potential. I welcome anyone to come see the car, and feel free to ask any and all questions! No reserve, good luck!! Any bidders with zero feedback will have their bids cancelled if they have not contacted me prior to bidding. This car is sold as-is with no reserve. A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end.

Next-gen Volkswagen Golf R spied while running the 'Ring
Tue, 16 Apr 2013The launch of a new Volkswagen Golf is never a small thing, and things are already looking up for the subcompact hatchback after it was named 2013 World Car of the Year. While we've already seen the base and GTI versions of the next-generation Golf, now we're getting our first look at the sportier Golf R.
Although this prototype wears GTI lettering on the front fenders, it's more than just the roll cage and Sparco racing seat hinting that this is something a little more serious. Unlike the Golf and GTI, this car shows that the Golf R will continue to flaunt massive air intakes on each side of the fascia, and the rear of the car (though it's hard to see) has quadruple exhaust outlets. We still don't have an official word on power, but rumors indicate that the next Golf R could be pushing close to 300 horsepower, making it the most powerful production Golf ever. As much fun as we had during our first drive of the Golf R Cabriolet in the cold, snowy French Riviera last month, more power is a warming idea.
Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
